Susan Greene Interviewed on
“Quips & Tips for Successful Writers”
I was recently interviewed by a blogger and thought I’d share some of the key questions and answers with visitors to my website. The interview was conducted by Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen, owner/author of the popular blog, “Quips and Tips for Successful Writers,” http://theadventurouswriter.com/blogwriting/. I hope you find it interesting.

1. What is your official title, and what are your responsibilities?
I’m self employed as a freelance copywriter. My primary responsibilities are working with clients to write copy for their marketing materials. Those materials may include websites, brochures, press releases, ads, newsletters, blog posts and more.
2. What is the average salary or wage?
Like so many fields, salary depends on your level of experience. The more experienced you are, the bigger the clients you can attract. And bigger clients tend to have bigger budgets.
Also, along with experience comes confidence. That confidence allows you to charge higher rates. For example, I see beginning copywriters offering to write website copy for $20-$50 per page. More experienced pros, however, quote $200 on up to $1,000 per page. So, as you can see, the range is great.
I think a copywriter who has talent, some experience and aggressively markets her services can make $50,000 - $100,000 per year. A copywriter with substantial experience and a solid client base should be able to top 6 figures.
In my case, in addition to the income I get writing for clients, I also have a few products that bring in ongoing revenue. For example, I’ve written some college textbooks that continue to sell well, and I’ve recently begun marketing a 257-page e-book I wrote called “Job Hunting in a Tough Economy,” (www.JobHuntingStrategies.com).
